Configuration Realized :

Carte mère : Gigabyte GA-785GMT-USB3 =80€

Compatible : CPU AM3  : AMD 785G + SB710 Chipset

RAM : 4Go DDR3  :KINGSTON DDR3 HyperX 2×2 Go PC3-12800 (1600MHz) = 108€
CPU :AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition (Socket AM3) =169€
Disque Dur Hitachi 1 To = 70€

Carte Graphique : ATI HD RADEON 5450 1Gb DDR3  =50€

OS : UBUNTU 10.04 LTS

COOLER MASTER Elite 334 + Alimentation 460 W

^o^ Possible to realise Dual Screen 24″ + 19″ or more.

COOLER MASTER Elite 334 + Alimentation 460 W

TOTAL : 534€

I found around the same configuration at DEll store at around 749€ / 949€ .

• Other Advantages:

-Gobally the configuration doesn’t make any noise, I’ve choose  the Fan Enermax.

-Quality of the component used in the motherborad & saving  energy consumption

-Price

-USB 3.0

-Scapability of hardware configuration

• Disadvantage :

-Have some knowledge in Electronic  to assemble the different components of the motherboard.

I strongly recommend to view the CPU LIST compabilty of the motherboe
